One of the most amazing approaches in the world, Hamilton Island located in the Whitsundays in Northern Queensland. The runway leaves little room for error in case of an undershoot or overshoot due to the water, definitely an amazing place to visit.

A visitor from - posted Sun October 28, 2012:The runway is 1704m long (1704m SHORT may be better!)
Not impossible with a heavy jet, I've already seen an A310 take-off on about 900m!

A visitor from - posted Wed February 1, 2012:I remember seeing a photo in the HTI terminal of a Condor DC-8 which carried a group of German tourists to the Great Barrier Reef in the early 90's. A great job to safely land that baby on Hamo!

A visitor from Australia posted Tue October 5, 2010:Wow that was an amazing job by Ansett to put a 767 down there,suppose no one has the balls to try a A380 lol..

A visitor from Australia posted Fri December 25, 2009:Ansett used to fly 767-200 into there believe it or not.

A visitor from Australia posted Mon June 23, 2008:Ive flown there on a JQ 717 about 4 years ago. And it was a great approach through all the islands. 737s land there too.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun April 27, 2008:Outstanding scenery,but just the thought of an engine failure during takoff is scary.

A visitor from United States posted Wed March 19, 2008:That's a very short runway. If you end up under or over-shooting the mark, your airplane could end up in the drink. Amazing how the blue waters in the background blend in with the airport scenery. 5*.

A visitor from United States posted Tue February 26, 2008:Fantastic colors. Just look at the water short of the runway. Great content also... just what it would look like on final.
